COMMENTARY     

Ian Graham
Staff Editor
6th March 2005 		Only 81 countries are on this list. The reason the United States and many other countries do not appear on this list could be that data was not collected, or not available.

According to the UNESCO Institute for Statistics table Selection of Indicators on Libraries of Institutions of Tertiary Education, there are 3,658 college or university central libraries in the United States with combined collections of 878,906,177 volumes of books.

The Russian Federation, with 328,345,356 volumes of books, and Germany, with 145,781,090 volumes, are the only other countries in the table with more than 100,000,000 volumes of books in their college and university libraries.

Judging from this, it would be reasonable to assume that the combined number of books in all of the United States would be among the highest in the world.
